Add us as a preferred source on Google »Marian Keyes has become one of the most adored authors in Ireland, and her catalogue of books is nothing but remarkable.
Rachel's Holiday is one of the most recommended books in our Her Book Club interviews, and Marian is the author everyone raves about, no matter what genre they write in.
There are still so many books of hers that I've been itching to read, and My Favourite Mistake is at the top of the list.
Anna is my favourite of the Walsh sisters, so this novel was the perfect choice for me.
It's currently available in the May Kindle sale for €1.15. Buy it here.

There’s just one fly in the ointment – old flame Joey Armstrong. He’s going to be her wingman. Never mind their chequered history. Never mind what might have been.
